Example

The following code example shows how to customize a cell's paint logic. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the GcMultiRow.CellPainting event.

void gcMultiRow_CellPainting(object sender, CellPaintingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CellIndex == 1 && e.Scope == CellScope.Row)
            {
                e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds);

                PaintRateBlock(e);

                e.PaintForeground(e.ClipBounds);

                e.PaintBorder(e.ClipBounds);

                // If you customize the paint logic, make sure the Handled property is set to true.
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }
        private static void PaintRateBlock(CellPaintingEventArgs e)
        {
            Color color1 = Color.Red;
            Color color2 = Color.Orange;
            if (e.Selected)
            {
                color1 = Color.Blue;
                color2 = Color.SkyBlue;
            }

            decimal rate = 0m;

            if (e.Value != null)
            {
                rate = (decimal)(e.Value) / 100m;
            }

            // Calculate block size.
            int spinButtonWidth = 17;
            int blockWidth = (int)((e.ClipBounds.Width - spinButtonWidth) * rate);

            if (blockWidth > 0)
            {
                Rectangle rect = e.CellBounds;

                rect.Width = blockWidth;

                LinearGradientBrush brush = new LinearGradientBrush(rect, color1, color2, LinearGradientMode.Vertical);

                e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rect);
            }
        }

VB.NET

Private Sub gcMultiRow_CellPainting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CellPaintingEventArgs) Handles gcMultiRow.CellPainting
        If e.CellIndex = 1 AndAlso e.Scope = CellScope.Row Then
            e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds)

            PaintRateBlock(e)

            e.PaintForeground(e.ClipBounds)

            e.PaintBorder(e.ClipBounds)

            ' If you customize the paint logic, make sure the Handled property is set to true.
            e.Handled = True
        End If
    End Sub
    Private Shared Sub PaintRateBlock(ByVal e As CellPaintingEventArgs)
        Dim color1 As Color = Color.Red
        Dim color2 As Color = Color.Orange
        If e.Selected Then
            color1 = Color.Blue
            color2 = Color.SkyBlue
        End If

        Dim rate As Decimal = 0D

        If e.Value <> Nothing Then
            rate = DirectCast((e.Value), Decimal) / 100D
        End If

        ' Calculate block size.
        Dim spinButtonWidth As Integer = 17
        Dim blockWidth As Integer = CInt((e.ClipBounds.Width - spinButtonWidth) * rate)

        If blockWidth > 0 Then
            Dim rect As Rectangle = e.CellBounds

            rect.Width = blockWidth

            Dim brush As New LinearGradientBrush(rect, color1, color2, LinearGradientMode.Vertical)

            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rect)
        End If
    End Sub
